Two independent experiments were performed with three groups each (sepsis control, sepsis, and sepsis with apoE23 treatment) to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of apolipoprotein 23 (apoE23) in a mouse model of sepsis induced by . Survival rates; plasma level variations in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS); S. colony-forming units in the spleen tissue; and mRNA and protein expression levels of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), LDLR-related protein (LRP), syndecan-1, and scavenger receptor B1 were evaluated in the livers of mice from the three groups. Results found that the survival rate of septic mice treated with apoE23 was 100% within 48 h, while it was only 40% in septic mice without apoE23 treatment ( < 0.001). The plasma LPS, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels and the load in mice in the apoE23-treated group were significantly lower than those in septic mice ( < 0.05). Moreover, apoE23 restored the downregulated expression of LDLR and LRP in the liver tissue of septic mice. So apoE23 exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect in the mouse model of -induced sepsis. Further studies are required to understand the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of apoE23.

Septic shock involves severe systemic inflammatory reaction toward various invading species, such as microorganisms and microbial toxins. Such a response is complicated and characterized as being a dynamic and time-dependent phenomenon. During this response, a significant amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines may be produced, causing a rapid death rate in septic victims and occasionally leading to apoptosis of immune cells within the first hours of septic reaction.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis leads to systemic immune issues and organ failure, often resulting in severe brain disability, with young females showing better recovery than males.
- Using a mouse model, researchers found that after experiencing sepsis, both male and female mice showed weight regain and reduced gut microbiome diversity, but males displayed more significant immune changes and brain inflammation.
- fMRI analysis highlighted that while both sexes experienced similar changes in certain brain areas, male mice had altered connectivity patterns suggesting a delayed recovery process compared to females, indicating a complex, sex-dependent response to sepsis.

Sepsis is the leading cause of death among critically ill patients in clinical practice, making it urgent to reduce its incidence and mortality rates. In sepsis, macrophage dysfunction often worsens and complicates the condition. M1 and M2 macrophages, two distinct types, contribute to pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects, respectively.

Sepsis-induced thrombocytopenia (SIT) is a widely accepted predictor of poor prognosis during sepsis, while the mechanism of SIT remains elusive. In this study, we revealed that SIT patients and septic mice exhibited higher levels of pro-inflammatory macrophages and phosphorylated BTK (p-BTK) expression in macrophages, which were closely correlated with platelet counts. Treatment with the BTK inhibitor, BGB-3111 in SIT mice resulted in enhanced production of megakaryocytes and platelets.
